Microsoft Word - Is there a way to mass delete styles?

Microsoft Word - Is there a way to mass delete styles?

Is there a way to mass delete styles?

Posted: 13 Apr 2013 09:08 AM PDT

I have a document that was created by a product called AABBYY Fine Reader.  It is an optical character recognition program that enables a user to scan pages and then convert them to an existing  document format like Word, or Excel or Adobe PDF.  Unfortunately when the product is used to product a formatted document it often generates a myriad of styles because of minute differences in the text as it sees it.  This can result in a document with literally hundreds of different styles, styles that are useless.

 

I would like to remove all these useless sytles from the document and whatever template it is apparently using, but the only way I know how to do this at this time is one by one, going to the styles list, right clicking the style, and choosing Delete, which then asks you to confirm each one.  With hundred of styles this would be a very time consuming task.  I want to find a way to mass delete the styles so I can start over with a very simple set based on the standard normal template.

 

I can clear all formatting right now, but that does not get rid of the embedded styles and it may also have a negative effect on what formatting I was trying to save.

 

Is there a way to delete all sytles or selected styles using a character pattern filter?

 

Is there a way to get around this by linking the document to a new template?

 

What other solutions have I not thought of?

 

Anxiously waiting for an answer.

Indentation not working properly in Word 2010

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 02:43 PM PDT

My frustration with Microsoft Company has boiled over to this writing regarding Microsoft Word and I know that Microsoft could care less.  Otherwise they would have changed things so that it is simpler to use instead of harder.  Okay.  Now that I am calmed down a little... here is my question:

 

Why is it when I have my cursor on the line I want to indent (I know that I am not stupid) , all of the other text moves on the page except for the line that I have my cursor on???????????  This is so freaking frustrating I cannot even begin to tell you.  I have fought... and I have fought over the years with this same exact problem and I am simply tired of it.

 

The ONLY credit MS gets is that this is text copied from a blog and not an original "New" document.  However, I still have the same problems when trying to indent.  Sometimes the indentations are different, but sometimes not. 

 

HOWEVER,

 

I did select "Merge Formatting" as my choice for the text being pasted.  Sooo.... wouldn't that take care of the problem?

 

Thanks community... you keep me from doing something I would rather regret...lol

Word 2007/Win8: Images are cut off when printing by scaling

Posted: 09 Apr 2013 05:26 PM PDT

Hi.

 

I am having a problem with MS Word 2007 on Windows 8 x64.  I just tested Word 2007 on my Windows 7 x64 computer and it does not have this problem.  In Word documents I manipulate images and screenshots as guides to print for people.  On Windows 7 this was never a problem and was flawless; I could paste screenshots in directly and crop/upscale/downscale images and they STAYED that way.  I also tested the trial version of Office 2010 in desperation but it did the exact same quirk on Windows 8.

 

In Windows 8 I am finding that the page I see on the screen is NOT the same as the printouts (tested on 3 different printers) or the MS XPS file print.  It does look exactly right when printed to PDF via CutePDF.  However, having to print my documents to PDF and then print the PDF is very annoying.  The problem is the scaling for pictures does not stay when the file is printed.  Images become skewed or cutoff as the image stays the same dimensions I dragged it to on the page but it zooms itself to full 100% size again inside those dimensions.

 

I have tried several things to correct this:

1)  I tried applying a "Picture Style" to one of the pictures:  This fixed the scaling.  In fact it fixes the scaling for ALL images on that page, but any on the next pages revert to improper scaling.

 

2)  I tried the "Compress Pictures" option:  This fixed every picture but the first one.  It is also an extra step I do not need to take in Windows 7, and on Windows 7 I don't have to discard cropped out areas in order for printing to work.  I tested that by opening a docx made on Windows 7 and printing:  the images maintained their style from Windows 7.  I could also uncrop those photos back to original sizes.

 

3)  I tried saving the file before printing:  no change

 

4)  I tried rebooting:  no change

 

5)  I tried using pasted screenshots vs premade pictures:  both suffer the same problem.

How should I proceed?  Is this a Word thing or a Windows 8 driver thing?  Any help is much appreciated.

Hello, when I copy text from a Web page

Posted: 08 Apr 2013 03:41 PM PDT

into a Word 2007 new document, Word won't paste the text into the new document as it should by using the Paste command (or Ctrl + V). The Web page is an Adobe online document. Notepad, however, will accept the Paste command. If I go to other Web pages, I am able to copy and paste text into the (same) Word doc. If I go to another Web page at Adobe I can also use the copy and paste command just fine again with the same Word doc.

 

Any ideas what this might be?

 

Thanks

Remove Acrobat from toolbar

I found an easier way, I went to the link below and started going
through the process described on the link and found a PDFMaker template
in the Office "Startup" folder and one in the XL Start folder. I just
deleted those templates and all is well.

Thanks for the link though, bookmarked it.

Baseline set but not visible in gantt

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 10:41 AM PDT

Here is how to trouble shoot.

In the gantt view go to insert menu / select column / choose "Baseline
Start"
If the column is empty or has NA all over it, you don't really have a
baseline set. Set a baseline (not an interim baseline) and start over.

If there are values there then go to format menu / select barstyles / scroll
down the list to the first open space.
Type a name, set the appearance you want using the controls on the bottom
half of the form, set "Show for ... Tasks" to be "Critical", set it to be
"From" baseline start "TO" baseline finish.

Your baseline should now show up. If it doesn't you have a real problem.

Showing a fixed work effort with a long duration

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 08:54 AM PDT

Louise --

Select the task and then click Window - Split to apply the Task Entry view.
In the lower viewing pane (Task Form), do the following:

1. Select a resource from the Resource Name column
2. Enter 5 hours of work in the Work column
3. Set the Task Type as Fixed Work
4. Click the OK button
5. Change the Duration to 15 days
6. Click OK

Microsoft Project will automatically recalculate the Units as 4%. Hope this
helps.

Assigning task as "monthly", "qtrly" & visually displaying on cale

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 08:26 AM PDT

That is what I've done so far. But, how do I customize a visual display of the recurring tasks? I'd like an icon or something to display in the calendar view (or other view) for each time that scorecard is due to be published. Right now the only visual display is the circular arrow in the left and I think it says "1hr" for each occurance can I make it say something else or show an icon instead? If so, do I do this with the resource customization or with a field customization?

And, do all the parents in the outline HAVE to have the 1hr displayed for all their child activities, can I make them only show on the parent of the recurring task and not the "initiative" and "objective" lines I have them linked to above that task.

Make sense?

Another silly question, how do I add a column on the far right? It always adds it to the left of the last column and I can't figure out how to get the far right column moved to where I want it to go.

Hi,

I am nearly convinced default working hours is the culprit.

I'm still having this problem. I have a task, the duration of which is 3
days, work is 48 hours, two people, working full time (8 hour days) are
assigned to this task. So everything is correct, but project schedules the
start date of the task for 7/13 and the finish date for 7/14, which is only
two days. I cannot figure out how to simply get the start and finish dates
to match the duration without making everything go wacky.

With Master/Subs - only one user can edit?

Posted: 29 Jun 2004 05:56 AM PDT

To be more specific, a file can be open by two or more users at a time, but
only one person can have it open for editing. All others are read only and
won't see changes until the person editting saves, and the readers close and
reopen the file.

Resource Reports by Project

Posted: 28 Jun 2004 05:57 PM PDT

Thanks John, you've given me a lot to try. In the mean time I found that
if you unlink the project you don't want to see from the resource pool,
then you will only get the assignments from the project you do want to
see.....and the reports work.

Thanks....

Resources In alphabetical Order

Posted: 28 Jun 2004 02:58 PM PDT

Hi,

Simplest is to do a Name sort in Project first. If you select the renumber
option the ids renumber so resource names are alphabetic.

You can do the name sort manually or in VBA.

Microsoft Project is a spreadsheet system software?

Posted: 28 Jun 2004 12:24 PM PDT

Interesting thread.
Doris rasies a good point - though not the point she mentions...

Do the Excel people and the Project people at MS ever talk?

I believe the "grid" in project would benefit greatly from excel like
functionality

For example when creating a formula in "Text1" why not just type (as in
excel)
=Text2 & " " & Text3 & " " & Duration9/60/8 '(convert minutes to hours and
hours to days)

or being able to set durations with "=Activity14.Duration" (the same
duration as Activity 14)

Perhaps define names or named ranges?

I bet there are other great ideas out there - your thoughts?

Mark

Customize a Module View in project

Rod,

It sounds to me like she means the Forms that appear on the bottom
half of the screen when you click Window>Split. If that's the case, I
don't think you can customize those forms, can you?
